Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Seàn was an amazing pet and house sitter! He was super communicative and took amazing care of my dog Nala and cat Bruce. They were happy and loved while I was away- I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for the two little fur babies! He sent great pictures and checked in every day so I had nothing to worry about. On top of all that, he also kept my place immaculately clean and left my place in wonderful shape. We can’t wait to have him back to sit and I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone looking for a sitter!
"A relaxing and long time away from home made possible by the best pet & house sitters we could have asked for!" Judy and Steph went the extra mile over their entire one month stay at our home. Both our cats became fast friends thanks to the care and dedication provided for them. We were routinely updated with spectacular photos of our furry girls throughout our leave that helped us be anxiety-free the entire time. Even our older shy cat spent time sleeping on their laps or hanging out on shoulders. As for the house, Judy and Steph left it even cleaner than when they arrived! We had a few tasks to maintain the lawn and potted plants outside, which were completed perfectly. They even tended to our vegetable garden where needed! During a 'risk of severe hail storm' alert, Judy and Steph kept us in the loop and went even further to place potted plants under shelter out of harms way. In summary, we recommend Judy and Steph and would happily have them return again if our schedules cross paths.
Kendra was a great cat sitter to Genepi and she truly is a cat whisperer. Genepi usually takes 4 days to make friends with a new person but she came out and made friends with Kendra Day 1! Kendra regularly sent wonderful videos and pics of Genepi purring happily. The apartment was neat when we returned and our garden was blossoming. Would absolutely ask Kendra to sit again and highly recommend her. Thanks Kendra!!
. We were absolutely delighted with the care Summer provided for our cats. Without a doubt, she is the best cat sitter we have ever had the pleasure of working with. Her attentiveness and genuine affection for our cats were evident in every interaction. Throughout our holidays, she kept us constantly updated with daily pictures and detailed updates, which gave us immense peace of mind. Additionally, she maintained our house in immaculate condition, keeping everything clean and tidy. This level of consideration and dedication went above and beyond our expectations, and we deeply appreciated her efforts. Summer’s exceptional service made our holiday experience truly worry-free and enjoyable.
Our review is written by Steven (house owner, host + my father) + also by Kim (the daughter). Written by Kim: This was our first house sit since the passing of my mother in late Dec 2023. I was helping my father Steven (whose profile it is) manage all the emails + try + find a great house sitter + came along Gretchen’s profile! Not only is she a cool cat + someone you might want to get to know, I found myself quickly talking to her. I shortly found out her profile is just a glimpse of how interesting she is but talking to her was so much better! She is a world traveler with many experiences + stories to share. We quickly became conversationalists who could talk forever + probably will continue to do so! Thank you TH! She is easy to communicate with + continued the consistent communication all along our journey of having her as our *first* guest after my mom’s passing. It was clearly a time filled with anxiety + sensitivity so there were some sensitive topics to go over + Gretchen got it right away. A few of our rooms in the house were off-limits (as they housed my mom’s things) but we reassured her the house has ample space for her to enjoy + there are many lovely outdoor spaces to boot! When she arrived she felt she was in paradise + really relished in the outdoor beauty + the indoor coziness. We were happy to share it with someone who appreciated it so much! She also was very understanding with the fact that both my dad + I would both be involved as we both handled different parts of the stay. Me, writing + setting up the Welcome Guide + would go over the situation but then upon her arrival my dad would take over + answer any questions mostly during her sit. The good part of having 2 people is she had accessibility to us both, in the case she needed it + sometimes it came up! She juggled all the communication oh so well. My mom usually handled most of the logistics so this being our first time we were nervous something would come up we might not know but it didn’t! It was new territory for us + we wanted to make sure she had everything. Gretchen handled it all with such ease, seamlessly, really respecting our wishes/desires + taking all the information into her hands + making it seem easy on her end to do so. She was easy to coordinate schedules with! There was a gap in her 1st + 2nd sit but everything went seamlessly even when my flight had a day long delay. She was able to coordinate schedules with me arriving in between, then leaving, my dad arriving different days + us extending the trip too. It all worked out! We were all a good team! She absolutely loved our older cat, Benny + he fast + furiously fell in love with her oh so easily. When I saw him, he looked oh so loved + after saying hi to me went over to ‘her’ bed + slept there waiting for her to come back. She sent many pictures, videos + even cute creations + toys she made for our Benny + it was obvious the house + our Benny were her first priority. She even asked us if she could help prune our flowers/shrubs, something my mom used to do + honestly it was an honor to hear her ask that. She was welcome to set up her art studio + play away. She was very communicative when our house cleaner, landscape gardener + house manager showered up for different reasons. When I arrived back for a short stint before she came back the 2nd time our mail was so well organized it was an assembly line! She also offered to take down our xmas tree (as we were a bit behind in taking down our xmas decorations) + she was sensitive to the fact that we were adjusting to a new normal. Thank you so much Gretchen! You made our first sit in a long time so seamless + such a relief that we are ready now to host again. We only wish we could have more Gretchen’s! (She’s also a super talented artist!) Written by Steven: Overall, Gretchen has been an absolute treasure. She has fulfilled our goals for a house sitter perfectly - she took good care of the house, great care of our treasured pet, Mr. Benny + took care of the grounds such as watering a few plants + trees. She excelled in all the above + is welcome back anytime I will be out of town in the future.
Kathryn was amazing. She helped me figure plans out after another sitter dropped out at the last minute and saved the day! My cat and fish were well taken care of, and she was super communicative when my tank had a problem child moment. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, helpful, and caring sitter!!
Kimberly was a wonderful sitter who watched our two cats for us while we were out. She was willing to come a day early to help acclimate herself with the animals, and this was exceedingly helpful in making sure the cats would be comfortable with her during our absence. I would highly recommend Kimberly if you're looking for a responsible, caring sitter.
Nathalie and John were great! They were great house sitters to watch our two dogs, 2 geckos, our old cat and bull frog. Their two girls took good care of the animals as well. The house was exactly how we left it. We really appreciated their help!
Kathryn was such nice and kind sitter that both of my boyfriend and me were grateful to have, including my cats!! My cats seemed having great time with her, being around her, chilling on couch with her, or even sitting on her. I got several photos of my cats from her with whort updates. I’m thankful that she let me do facetimes with her when I missed my cats. The house was clean and tidy when we came back. I definately will ask her again to sit my cats and house when I need. Thank you Kathryn!!:)
Chris was a fantastic cat sitter for our elderly and high maintenance kitty. Chris was the perfect combination of responsible and on top of her medication needs while also being calm and relaxed about her picky eating habits and the need to monitor her food and medication consumption. He was prompt, easy to get a hold of, responsible, and overall, a great sitter. I would definitely recommend him and most certainly hope to have him stay with her again.
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $20 per visit, per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
My fur child is so incredibly happy the second we pull into the parking lot!!! The staff are welcoming, warm and engaging. I was just using this service as a fill in activity for travel but my little buddy can not live without the Scooby crew on a regular schedule. Can not say enough about how fabulous this has been! Great pricing and the A’ la cart services are awsome too!
Scooby shack continues to amaze me with their customer service, compassion, and hard work ethic! I always know that my sweet doggy is in the best hands when I drop her off there and better yet she always looks like she is having a blast! Thank you Scooby team for making sure my Thelma girl is always comfortable and having fun🩷 …
Nyxie loves her plays and stays at Scooby Shack. She's made some good buddies (dogs and humans!), and she "sings" all the way to the Scooby Shack once she knows we're headed that way. The staff takes such good care of our girl. When she stays there, the staff is happy to give updates and pictures. (We know Nyxie is having a ball so this is really to make her parents feel better.) Thank you Scooby Shack for taking such great care of our girl!
Extremely disappointed with this place. We used to bring our dog here exclusively for grooming and daycare but never again. We brought our dog in to get groomed after several years of grooming here and only when I went to pay was I told that the prices increased, over $100 MORE! We'd always brought our dog in the morning to play with the other dogs and then his grooming appointment would be in the afternoon. We've done this for years and not once have they charged us for day care when bringing him in the morning If we also got him groomed. It was only when I came to pick him up that they told me they increased their prices for grooming and charged me for the morning. I understand raising prices as needed but this was a very dishonest way to go about that. They should have let their customers know before they leave their dogs there that they increased their prices by so much instead of waiting until after the service is over. Not to mention the groomer did not even trim some areas we'd requested like around his booty so now I have to do it myself. We will never be coming back and will be telling our friends and family who also go there about this experience.
I'm so excited, Scooby Shack has a new groomer (Hannah), and she is fantastic. I have a Yorkshire Terrier and a Bernese Mountain Dog and I've been through more than my fair share of not so good grooming experiences. Leah really listened to me and did exactly what I asked her to. My dogs look great, and you can tell she really enjoys grooming dogs. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her!
I’ve posted before and after pictures of our mini Aussiepoo. As you can see, he had a full head of cute, curly hair that the groomer at Scooby Shack has managed to shave off haphazardly twice. When we picked him up this time, we were in tears; she’d cut his whiskers off, shaved his entire body and only left his ears and tail alone. She said it was because we didn’t brush him enough, but we brushed him every day. I am so disappointed and upset by this groomer. How can you work with animals and do this to them? Do not take your dog to this woman, she clearly doesn’t care about the work she is doing or how her customers feel.
I have taken my dogs to Scooby Shack since 2011. Trulli loves going to Scooby Shack so she can play with her doggie friends and with Todd. I am very happy with the care Trulli receives and have no reservations taking her for daycare and boarding Trulli at Scooby Shack.
Very impressed with this daycare and boarding facility . Very clean and communication is topnotch. They Have staff with the pups at all times -24 hrs. Experienced staff watching and they understand animal behavior. As I’m Watching pups come and go-The pups are so happy waggin their tails , hopping on their feet -such a sight to see. That tells me they had a good time. What great way to socialize a pup in a pack environment. 🤩 They even have a cat condo. Super Clean and have wall climbing area for them. I got to see a cat scratching on a post didn’t even seem scared. Relaxed and strutting his stuff across the room. 🤩
Our dog loves Scooby Shack. He is excited when we take him here, and when he comes home, it is obvious he has played all day long and enjoyed his day. Staff are super friendly and nice.
My dog loves Scooby Shack. His enthusiasm to rush through the doors and get inside is sometimes overwhelming! It's easy to see why. The staff is friendly and reliable. Everyone has a great attitude and welcoming smile. I totally trust them to provide a safe and secure place where my dog can run around with his pals. I never have to worry when he is there. We both love Scooby Shack!!
I dropped off my son's and daughter-in-law's dogs, a black retriever and a mixed English sheepdog/St Bernard/mastiff (BIG dog!) on a Wednesday and picked the dogs up the following Sunday. The family was out of town for a holiday and the dogs need lots of activity, more than I can provide working and living a 30-minute drive away. Both dogs were happy to see me during the pickup, but I could tell they had fun at Wag's Spa by the way they behaved. They were happy to nap after a short room in the yard at home and they quickly settled in their kennels for the night without any complaints. Wag's will be used again.
I made a reservation several weeks in advance for Thanksgiving weekend. When I had my dog dropped off they informed me they took it upon themselves to cancel my reservation and claimed to tell me they cancelled it. But I have no record of any call or email from them. It really messed with my holiday plans. When I messaged them to complain about it they did not acknowledge or do anything to make it up. I don’t recommend relying on them for your pups stay. It’s really upsetting and frustrating they’d do that and not handle it.
The staff here is so amazing. Bouncer still loves going every day. Cannot say enough good stuff about Wags. Yup, we're still here. 5, sometimes 6 days a week. Bouncer was even voted Dog of the Month for August. He received a really awesome basket with toys and treats, created specifically for him. We love Wags. Life wouldn't be the same without them.
Used to be a 5/5 process. They all know my dog by name. He loves going there. But calling the location is a huge pain in the neck! You call the store and then you’re thrown to some call center overseas. What small company like this outsources their calls to India?! Definitely not a way to feel personal with your loyal customers. This interaction alone has made me reconsider Wags Pet Resort and going to a competitor. What a pain in the A$$.
Today, I took my dog to this facility to do a boarding assessment. When I picked him up, I found my dog was seriously injured! There is a scrape on his face, very near to his left eye. The wound is very deep!! The staff said they did not even see it. They are not apologetic at all and did not even seem to care about my puppy! I am very upset and disappointed for this place. Definitely I will never come back again and would recommend other dog owners think twice before sending your dog here. This is not a place you can trust.
Wags has been amazing. Our dog is older and needing a lot more TLC while boarding and the employees there went above and beyond to try to help our old girl feel comfortable. It means the world to us. ❤️
All I have to say to my dogs is “Wags” and they already have one paw out the door. They love wags so much!! To me, when your dog love something, that should tell you how amazing the place and people are. In addition to my dogs loving it- I appreciate Wags staff so much! They are truly compassionate and loving towards my dogs and I know they are in amazing care when I drop them off. They are a full service facility which is super convenient for when your dog needs training, grooming, daycare, or hoteling. I highly recommend wags!
Our Goldendoodle, Griz, has been going to Wags since they opened in Sherwood and we have had nothing but the BEST experience! Griz is a gentle giant, he tends to be a bit scared and nervous of basically everything, but at Wags he is so happy and confident! Cassie, the owner, taught Griz tricks that I never thought he’d be capable of. She is quite honestly one of his favorite people along with the rest of the staff at Wags. They are so much more than just a daycare, they truly love your dog like their own. Every morning the staff welcomes Griz with the biggest cheers and good morning hugs, he walks in and out of there like royalty and he loves it! I just couldn’t be happier with Wags. At the end of the day, he comes home absolutely exhausted! He gets tons of physical and mental exercise and the entire staff at Wags consistently go out of their way to love, play, and take perfect care of him. We are so lucky to have found Wags!!! Attached is his Christmas photo they took of him! Yes, they do that too! 😍😍
The only place we trust with our dogs. But most importantly, the only place our dogs love. We have tried a couple other companies closer to our home. Our dogs hated it there! And they let us know it. When we turn down the street to WAGS the dogs start jumping around the car and can’t wait to jump out. We love WAGS Sherwood!
My 3 dogs went in for an hour evaluation, and 20 minutes later, they called and asked for me to pick the dogs up because they were not a good fit for their facility. When I arrived, they proceeded to tell me that they put them in an isolated area by themselves. So, they were dropped off in a strange location with people they don't know. They were scared, and they were left alone for what they said was 10 minutes. In that 10 minutes, one of my dogs managed to cut her noise on their fence, trying to escape. I spent two hours at the vet to attend to her wound. My question is, shouldn't they have been evaluating them in person for the full hour and not leaving them alone in an unfamiliar place by themselves?
Left my 11 month old puppy with them for 5 nights & she came home with kennel cough, among other things. Could not get ahold of anybody for the first 4 days. This was her first (& last) time staying there & she has some anxiety so I wanted to make sure she was doing okay. Called multiple times everyday, left voicemails, emailed & even tried sending a message through their website. No response until the day before I came to pick her up. When I did, she reeked of urine and her coat was greasy where she had clearly laid in urine & was not cleaned up (who knows how many times?) First staff member that I interacted with when I dropped her off was completely unknowledgable abt anything having to do with boarding. Gave me a card to email for updates, however the staff member I spoke to when I picked her up gave me completely contradicting information than the first. She also completely ignored my concern & complaint of being unable to reach anybody abt the wellbeing of my dog for 4 days. Simply replied that I used the wrong email & to use the correct one next time. My dog started coughing & hacking horrendously after I brought her home & given her a bath. They never mentioned anything abt them having any issues or concerns of kennel cough at their facility but she did in fact come home with it. Immediately took her to the vet & a $250+ bill later .. she's on 10 days of antibiotics for kennel cough & a suspected bladder infection. The facility itself reeks & seems like there is little to no sanitary practices used or standards upheld. Extremely disappointed in their facility, their lack of professionalism & care for clients and their pets.
Our dog spends a couple of days per week at Pawsitively Playful in Newberg. We love the staff and owner and they seem to really love our dog. Richard keeps high quality dog food and pet accessories in the shop too which saves us a drive sometimes. I highly recommend this doggie daycare and boarding. Enjoy holiday pet photos and participation in Newberg’s Old Fashioned Festival parade!
Very friendly an positive wonderful peaple an correlated to doggie owner's.we adopted a wonderful little mix breed thats taken a shine to us very quickly an gets along great with our cat an 5 month old dachshund an absolutely loves his new yard.we highly recommend these ladys for a adoption and doggie day care they do a wonderful job. Thanks so very much Pawsitively Playful.Great experience definitely recommend them to anyone looking to adopt or have your doggie watched for the day.***** A++++++
We were looking to add to our family and found our little girl at Pawsitively Saved Rescue. Meet Ryley, Richard saved her from a bad situation and now she has her forever home with her guy Jake. Please adopt or donate from these wonderful people.
Owner and operator is very friendly and good with dogs. I have my pup enrolled in the class and even though she is a bit of a trouble maker the owner handles her well. Group sessions are small and seem to still cater to the individual need of each dog. They sell additional services and products other than training, and it is nice because it is there if you need it but they never try to push it on you. Would recommend for new dog owners and veterans alike.
They always take such great care of my little Chi "Baby".Richard is kind and very patient with nervous dog mom's. The facility is well organized and clean. My little girl has special needs and they meet them with love. I highly recommend them.
I highly recommend this place for your doggy day care and overnight stay. In lieu of places where dogs are kept separately in crates, Pawsitivity Playful dogs are allowed to play with one another. They do have crates where dogs sleep at night, eat and recharge. Richard who is the owner treats my adult puppies with dignity and respect. Because of the positive atmosphere there, my pups would rather go there than play in the yard. 😁
Our pup Kenickie loves going to doggy daycare here!! Such a great way to burn out some extra energy during the week when we're busy, he always comes home ready to crash for the next couple of hours. All the employees are super awesome and take great care of the dogs. They've also always been super flexible when we need last minute puppy playtime day or boarding. And the prices are the best around!
Love this place!! What a treat for our dogs! The owners Richard and Merissa are absolute treasures. They are so tender and accommodating with all the dogs. Their facility is set up with the dog's needs in mind. That's not all folks! There is a professional groomer on site too, Pampered Pooch Grooming. The groomer Nicole is a miracle worker!! You won't be disappointed.
We had a good experience taking our dogs in to be groomed. Until the next day when our dogs began to cough and sneeze. After a trip to the vet we discovered they had Kennel Cough which they contracted at the groomers. I understand this is not 100% avoidable with so many dogs. However when we called to let them know, we were not giving an apology or any reassurance that additional sanitation methods would be taken in the future. The grooming was good, but it is not worth it when it comes to the safety and health of our pets.
Our pup Cinnamon has been going to Wags since shortly after we adopted her so this review is a bit overdue. We love love LOVE Wags! It’s our pups home away from home. Our pup has made so many besties both dog and human, and she comes home relaxed and content from her daycare days. The staff and management are kind, helpful, caring and skilled at what they do. We’ve also had our pup spend some overnights and she’s done great! I would definitely recommend bringing your dog here for boarding or daycare, we’re so grateful for Wags.
Ruby absolutely loves going to daycare to see her friends. She runs in and wants to get in as fast as she can. The staff is so nice and they are so sweet to Ruby and myself. All I say is do you want to go play with your friends and she is at the door ready to go. She knows when we turn on Hall Street she gets to go run her heart out. I give her happiness a 5 star review. The only down side is I’d like to see the back where the dogs are and what it looks like. Also some cameras so I can see what she is doing while I’m not with her. But otherwise. I’m so thankful I found Wags Pet Resort for my sweet Ruby ❤️
I can't express enough how grateful I am for Wags Tigard dog daycare that has been amazing for my once timid greyhound that I adopted last fall. When I first brought her in, she was incredibly shy and anxious, making it difficult for her to join group play. However, the training and daycare staff went above and beyond by offering private care and training sessions. Their dedication, patience, and expertise helped my dog overcome her fears and gain the confidence to play with others. Without their specialized attention, I would have been in a position to consider returning her to the rescue since she also has separation anxiety and can't be home alone, but now my dog is THRIVING. I wholeheartedly recommend this daycare to anyone in a similar situation, as they truly care about each dog's individual needs.
Great place for our 1 year old to play and socialize . I have taken Milo to other care centers & he has come home smelling very foul. Wags returns him in the same condition that I left him in. He seems to love the staff., He is always excited when we pull into the parking lot!
Wags has been awesome for our 9 month old 90lb puppy. Our previous doggy daycare kenneled him for several hours a day due to his rougher play style instead of working with him to understand when he's being too rough. Wags has helped to work with him and is helping him understand other dogs' signs that they might need some space from him and he's been doing amazing! He always comes home absolutely worn out and is a breeze to deal with in the evening after a long day at work.
Great experience! Spice seemed to like it there and they loved him. He can be social if he wants to or not. Thanks Wags Tigard Staff!
This place is amazing and the staff is beyond incredible!! They treat my dog like she is part of their family. And the customer service is the best you'll ever get anywhere. I highly recommend Wags in Tigard.
I have been taking my dog to the Tigard location and he simply adores this daycare. The facility looks very clean and organized, which I think is rare! Very nice. My dog gets super excited when we arrive there! I had taken my dog to other doggie daycares and I didn't have the same great experience. Staff are great. I love that they post photos of the dogs in their IG page and I can see that my dog is so happy playing with other dogs. My dog is small and he loves blankets. I like that they have clean blankets and beds for the dogs so they can take a nap when they are tired. They also have several optional activities for the dogs and they are super fun.
We made reservations ahead of time and they didn’t record them. When we brought our dog there were no reaervations nor space available four our dog. New owners, bad service, they don’t care.
They only want dogs that don’t do anything if there’s a dog that has any type of personality or is young and it makes them actually have to work then they kick the dog out. I even talked to my vet about it (her comment was it’s just a bunch of people that say oh I want to go play with dogs all day long. That’s my job without actually being knowledgeable about dogs and dog breeds and what they do it different age levels.) I saw a video of my dog playing from a different daycare because he goes to three other daycares and I remember a wags employee telling me something that he does that is aggressive when I saw the video from the other daycare he’s on his back with his arms around the other dog and that’s considered aggressive he’s on his back on the floor with the other dog, having a ball playing with him. I also caught one of the employees lying to me. Just be aware that the employees are very judgmental towards dogs and they only want the submissive easy dogs. Nothing that’s going to make them have to actually do their job.
I can’t express enough how grateful I am for the care my dog received while staying with Toby. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that she and her dogs Raven, Jonah, and Wally were a wonderful fit for my pup. As this was our first time leaving him, we were understandably anxious, but Toby quickly put our worries to rest. She is truly a godsend, radiating warmth and kindness. Knowing my dog was in such loving hands made all the difference. During his stay, he had the time of his life! The way Toby interacts with her dogs and my pup is nothing short of special. He returned home happy, healthy, clearly not wanting to leave his new friends. I highly recommend Toby and Wild Pup Adventures to anyone looking for exceptional pet care. She is an extraordinary human who genuinely loves what she does, and it shows in every interaction. Thank you for making this experience so positive for all of us!
Saw Wild Pups on instagram and that it is a local, women owned business. We wanted to support! Our dog cannot spend all day adventuring but, we did a meet and greet with Toby and are able to board with her pack. Our dog loves getting to hang out with the Wild Pups and Toby is fabulous to work with. I don’t know how she does it but, the dogs she works with are so fortunate. Thanks for all that you do for this community Wild Pup Adventures!!
Words can't express the love my dog, Roo, and I have for Wild Pup Adventures. I moved to Portland in early 2020 and tried out a few different services, but I knew when Roo came home his first day on his adventure with Toby that this was the best one. Roo is a 3-year old golden retriever with a bossy attitude and endless energy and I have personally never seen him so tired as when he comes back from his weekly adventure. Toby, the owner/trainer, is truly a dog whisperer. Not only has she helped me with individual training sessions for Roo, but she manages to keep 6-7 dogs at her full attention the entire time she is out in the wilderness with them. Toby takes them to different terrain and places around Portland every week and her knowledge of the forest/beach/anywhere is incredible!! You can truly see the love in my dog's eyes when we walk up to her van and in all of the amazing pictures that she takes during the day. I moved to Bend recently and was SO sad to not be apart of WPA anymore. If anyone is looking for the best thing you can buy for your dog, I always recommend this service. I would give 150 stars if google let me, we will MISS YOU TOBY THANK YOU!!!
There are no adequate words that encapsulate how awesome Wild Pup Adventure is!!! Our wild pup Lucy has been adventuring with Toby and team since she was six months old and it's by far the best thing we could have ever done for our favorite furry family member. First of all, Toby is an incredible leader and small business owner. Her knowledge of dog care, training, wilderness, and safety is beyond impressive. The outdoor treks that Toby plans and executes for these pups make the rest of us who are stuck at work all day very jealous. We get to live vicariously through the beautiful photos that Tobi captures and shares with the parents after each adventure. If you have an energetic dog at home and want to do something special to improve their quality of life, I highly recommend signing them up for Wild Pup Adventure!
Wild Pup Adventures/Toby has transformed our desert rescue pup into an obedient - water loving - wilderness partner beyond our expectation. The joy and confidence from her pack experience with WPA makes going to the dog park and hiking pure pleasure! I wish there was more stars above can’t recommend this program and Toby enough! Steve&MJ
You can see the pure joy in not only the dog’s faces but in Toby’s face as she does something she genuinely enjoys. I have never seen a group of dogs so well behaved and having such a great time! Toby is not only a dog whisperer, she is their pack leader and brings them on great adventures, always with the dog’s best interest! 5 PAWS! 🐾🩷🐾🩷🐾🩷🐾🩷🐾
my baby girl loves Toby and her wild pup pack so much! I feel so blessed to have found Toby. The life my pup gets to live thanks to the incredibly thoughtful and hard work Toby does is truly incredible! like dream worthy!
Toby is so knowledgeable and puts meticulous thought and love for the dogs into every little things she does. I have never met anyone with so much expert knowledge and passion about dogs and their behaviors, safety, and the quality of their experiences.
I had been a long time follower of Wild Pup Adventures and I’m thrilled that my dog finally joined in on the fun. I could not be more pleased with the professionalism and care provided. This business is truly a gem…there is no other like it. This is because of the owner’s knowledge and skilled intuition. She is the only person I would trust with my dog!! Thank you!
Wild Pup Adventures is heaven on earth for dogs. Toby has taken her business model and turned it to a haven (and heaven) for dogs and owners alike. The dogs come home happy, fulfilled and exhausted, like they are meant to. There is nothing around comparable to the experience she provides and the dogs are able to experience life in ways that unfortunately most do not. Her experience, understanding and education of canine psychology is unparalleled and I only wish she could clone herself. Accept no substitutes. She and her years of experience are absolutely unparalleled. I love everything she does because she does it for her love for dogs and their quality of life. Only a true animal lover could possibly understand and appreciate what she does. She has extreme knowledge of dog breeds and their capabilities and which dogs can handle the experience and which can’t. She is picky about which ones she takes in because she cares about their quality of life and the experience they have. She’s very educated in all things based in animal science and is definitely one of a kind. Thanks Toby for all that you do for animals and spreading your knowledge and awareness about dog safety far and wide and caring about dogs over profit. You’re the real deal.
Great staff and excellent care for our fur babies. They treat them like their nieces and nephews! Very secure with double security latching and pets always on lead when moving around the property. They take care of everything. The add-ons are a real bonus for the pups who are rambunctious and playful.
we have two dogs that can be very tough to deal with are not particularly social, old and don’t really like unfamiliar people. It can be hard to find somewhere that will take them and care for them when they’re Such grumpy old men. Laurel acres is always happy to take them not worried about their attitudes and cares for them. This is one of the only places we trust with our tough little guys.
We visited here before bringing our kitty, because we had never left her anywhere but at home, but she needed medication while we were out of town. The employees were so sweet and let us take a look at the cat room, which made me feel SO MUCH better about leaving her. Just brought her home, and she is her silly self with not a care in the world haha. We will likely be back again!
Sookie was a 1st timer at almost 15. She’d never been to a boarder. The Cattery was clean, quiet & I know she was kept healthy & well cared for. Plus, she had food she had to have medicine in & that was no problem for them. I can’t say enough good things about Megan. She was an angel! She made my request of the bottom floor happen and did many other things to alleviate my fear and worry. The only mar was the weekend woman who checked us out. She was rude & abrasive. Wish I’d gotten her name, but I was a wreck because she wouldn’t let me see Sookie.
We had a last minute first time visit the staff was extremely helpful. Juni is an Australian cattle. Loves to herd.She did great.
I always take my dog here when we go out of town. Convenient hours, my dog is happy with no issues, easy to book boarding online, and workers are friendly.
Can't recommend them enough. My boy Stevie needs a little extra care, and wears a muzzle in public. I don't have to worry when he's at Laurel Acres. All of the handlers there are qualified and trained. They are also very responsive and give me sweet pictures of my boy when I'm away!
Laurel Acre is amazing. I've been boarding my dogs here for several years every time we went on vacation. My dogs are always taken good care of. They alway come back to me happy and healthy. I would highly recommend their service to other pet parents.
My pets are always excited when I bring them here! They pay attention to how our pets are doing and have given us a call when there are any issues that are medically significant. They have stayed there for up to two weeks and were in great spirits when I came to pick them up! It is a good bit of a drive out in the sticks for either location but in my opinion it’s worth the trip.
They did an amazing job with my Roxanne, very friendly when I arrived She had me answer a few questions as she made a record. Then I went and got my dog came in and they took her back. And called me when she was ready in about an hour or so awesome place. Thank you Kristen
